Due South #1

I've been wanting to do this review for a while. Due South is a quirky, hour-long comedy drama action amazing show of awesome about a Chicago detective (Ray Vecchio) and a Canadian mountie (Benton Fraser) who first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of his father and--for reasons that don’t need exploring at this juncture--remained, attached as a liaison with the Canadian consulate. It was a show I watched with my dad back in the nineties, and it was just so damned good it got canceled three times slower than Firefly.

The comic is something I’d been quietly waiting for before it came out and something I enjoyed privately afterwards. I have a lot of comics I don’t really gush about because I know most of the people around me wouldn’t care. Yes, Batwoman: Elegy might be artistically notable and a really good character study, but the actual story is weak and I only care about the character for certain personal reasons. Yes, Black Hole is great, but I never really find myself talking to a friend and thinking, “Man, this guy would probably love to read a black and white comic book about teenagers in the seventies with a creepy, mutative STD.” Due South is certainly one of those comics. It’s something I can gush about, but don’t really know who to gush about it to.

Thankfully, The Internet is here.

It's a great comic, and I never give it the kind of attention it deserves, but it's hard to really explain it to people. I'd like to do a review of it, but I also need to make sure I right by a really good work.

Just watched the pilot for "Jack of All Trades." Don't feel too well now. Think I'm suffering from camp poisoning.

The first symptom is thinking of Adam West when anyone mentions Batman for any reason.

Just finished a blog on The Middle East. Kinda feel like I'm trolling my spell checker.

Peter David just keeps collecting mutants. Every month, more mutants join X-Factor. He's a good writer, but I think that he's going to end up writing the entire X-Universe.

Aside from actually rolling, looking up warlock abilities is the longest part of combat in 4th Edition.

World destruction versus drunk drivers, revelers, traffic, excited people talking about Mardi Gras and how drunk they're going to get, traffic, people talking about how much money they're spending on beads they're going to throw away, drunk people talking about Mardi Gras and how drunk they're going to get, people asking about plans for Mardi Gras as if it's a think you do stuff for, and everyone everywhere else during Mardi Gras because.

Two Traumatizes are serious business. One Traumatize twice is almost just as dangerous.

The best humor is based on real life. Also, the saddest. :(
